Chapter 252: You Princess's Mansion
readx;
After returning to the palace, Princess Changning informed the saint and the queen of the matter of visiting the princess's mansion, which aroused the interest of the two. www.biquge.info Empress Du also remembered that she had such a thought a few months ago, and she had never left the Taiji Palace for so many years due to illness, so it was time to go out of the palace for a walk. The saint also felt that since it was the princess's mansion where his beloved daughter would live in the future, he naturally had to let them take a look at it first. If there is any discomfort, it is better to renovate it as soon as possible until he is satisfied.
As a result, the originally scheduled three or five friends met in the autumn, and they became a mighty trip with the saint and Queen Du. Since the sage and Queen Du are here, Princess Changning simply posted a post to invite the eldest princess of Linchuan, the eldest princess of Qinghe, and their respective concubines and princesses of Pu, Yan and other elders. In this way, the elders enjoy themselves, and they also have time to play on their own.
Of course, Yan Zhan would never miss such an opportunity. He also wanted to see the princess's mansion after it was built, but Princess Changning had no reason to refuse, so she acquiesced to him - since the wedding date was approaching, there was no need for her to have any disputes with the future concubine over trivial matters, right?
On the day of arriving at Deyou Mansion, the emperor and queen slowly left Taiji Palace with her beloved daughter. Queen Du sat in the chariot, listening to the sound of ruts and the noise from afar, with a rare look of amazement. Princess Yong'an was still carefree and naughty beside her, but Princess Changning held her hand: "Does A-Niang think that these hustle and bustle are completely different from the silence in the Taiji Palace?" ”
"Perhaps." Empress Du smiled slightly, "I haven't been out of the palace for many years, and I don't know if the capital has changed." Speaking of which, there are some days when I haven't seen ...... My grandmother is brother. "The Du family also won the title of Duke of Qingguo because of their daughter's entitlement. However, the Qingguo Mansion is almost unknown in the capital, not only does the Qingguo Mansion not appear often due to his frail health, but Mrs. Guo rarely participates in banquets. Du Dalang, the only one who came out, was also in distant states, and now he has been promoted to the assassin history, but his political performance is mediocre.
After Princess Changning thought of her mother's family, she couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart. The three generations of the Du family have been passed down alone, and the uncle and cousin are not outstanding figures, and their temperament is too gentle to be involved in the palace struggle at all. Moreover, they have been away for many years and have almost never met, although there is blood and family affection, but there is no trust and dependence. is also because compared with them, her cousin Li Huifang, who is as close to her as a brother-in-law, has entered Queen Du's sight and has been recognized as being able to trust her life.
My son also ordered someone to hand over a post to the Qingguo Mansion, and my grandmother sent someone to reply that this time it would be enough, and she would enter the palace to visit A-Niang another day. In the future, I will take A-Niang out every other day and live with my son. Also Fang Biàn A-Niang walked around. Taiji Palace is not suitable for recuperation, and Daming Palace does not know when it will be repaired. ”
"Silly boy, if I come, how should I teach the pony? Moreover, when I am not in the palace for a day, I can't let go of them. Our mother and daughter can't completely relax for a moment, and as for the rest, it's just a little thing. No matter how hot the Taiji Palace is, I have lived for so many years, and I am used to it. ”
Princess Changning fell into her arms and asked in a low voice, "Then when will A-Niang give us brothers and sisters again?" ”
Queen Du gently stroked her crow hair: "But please follow the fate." Even if it is only you sisters, I have already felt fulfilled in this life. ”
Princess Changning's eyes gradually turned red, but she soon controlled her tears and said coquettishly: "It's just that those self-righteous people are not pleasing to the eye." They all thought they were rich, but they were pregnant, so they raised their ambitions. ”
"People always have to look forward to Shu and can't be satisfied." Empress Du curled her lips, "The Yang family is like this, and so is the Yuan family." Xiao Yang and Xiao Yuan are no exception. Looking at it coldly, they have not yet separated from each other, so how can they easily become enemies of our mother and daughter? If there are fewer people in this palace and fewer children, my position in the middle palace will not be stable. It is said that it is not easy to be virtuous, but in fact, it is easy to ...... "just look at where the heart is."
When the royal driver came to the princess's mansion, the rest of the people had already arrived, and they all saluted the emperor and queen. The sage looked around the vast outer courtyard, bowed slightly, and asked Li Hui, Wang Zixian, Yan Zhan, and Yan Balang to follow him: "Since Xuan Qi is responsible for supervising the construction of the princess's mansion, then lead us to walk around and see the scenery." ”
Li Hui is duty-bound. He had been to the Princess's Mansion many times, and he knew the style drawings by heart, so he naturally knew what scenery to enjoy in autumn. So, he easily led the way in front, focusing on the emperor and several elders to look at the main courtyard dormitory and other palaces on the middle road, and then went around the garden to watch the ginkgo, red maple and chrysanthemums that have not yet bloomed.
Standing in the corner pavilion by the lake, you can see a hill standing on the quiet shore of the lake. The mountains are intertwined with gold and fiery red, like light and flames, extending brilliantly in the field of vision, which is really beautiful. The clear water of the lake reflects the mountains, and it is like being in a fairyland in a painting.
"Not bad!" The sage's eyes moved slightly, and he only felt that his mood was becoming more and more open, "This scenery is even better than the imperial garden of Taiji Palace." I heard that the style drawing was modified by Yan Aiqing? The two of them are really suitable for the position of master craftsman, and now the master master lacks a bit of aura-" After that, he looked back at Yan Balang: "I heard that your grandson inherited the ancestral industry and also entered the general prison?" ”
"Returning to the saint, Weichen was shadowed by his grandfather and served vacantly in the prison. Originally, I thought that being a prisoner would be far less than those noble positions, but now I find it very interesting. Moreover, they are all loyal to the saints, and there is only a difference in merit between large and small, so what is the difference between high and low? Yan Balang was sincere and honest, and his eyes were extremely calm.
The sage likes such a young man, and he can't help but praise a few more words, and praise Li Hui for his conscientiousness: "No matter how many things you do, you seem to be at ease." Now let you be Zongzheng Shaoqing, but you will be idle. This is not good, I think about it, I still have to give you another job vacancy. ”
Many courtiers wore two hats, or even multiple hats. As long as they are capable, they will not be delayed in handling official duties. For example, when the saint was still the crown prince, many of the ministers of the East Palace were concurrently served by important ministers of the imperial court. Now the sage finally found Wang Fu for the King of Qi and the King of Shu, who were originally officials of the court and the central government.
"My nephew is finally relieved, and he has been busy supervising the construction of his own county palace recently." Li Hui continued, "Uncle will let my nephew rest for a while." Besides, hasn't my nephew been learning how to behave with his uncle and grandfather all these days? If you don't learn to be a teacher, how can you dare to take on a responsibility again? ”
"Young people, it doesn't hurt to learn more." The sage smiled, "I'll let you go to Sinong Temple and learn from your uncle." He glanced at Yan Zhan next to him, and said, "It's just right, you and Yan Dalang can also be more familiar." He saw that the colt did not seem to be familiar with his nephew, so he deliberately created a close relationship for them. I can't let my daughter be caught between her brother and the colt, and she can't be torn between them.
"Nephew understood." Li Hui reluctantly agreed. Since it was a hint from the saint, he felt that it was difficult to have a deep friendship with Yan Zhan, so he had to give it a try. After all, he will be Yue Niang's concubine in the future, and he can't always exclude him and the Chengguo Mansion. As for the style of the Chengguo Mansion, after getting close, can you persuade it?
"The child has always admired the king of the county." Yan Zhan showed a happy smile, "I will definitely ask the king of the county for advice, and strive to share the saint's worries as soon as possible." "It seems that the Lord is very good, as if he has become intimate in a moment. However, Wang Zixian, who was standing on one side, keenly noticed that his eyes had a gloomy color, and his fists were slightly clenched.
The sage bowed his head in satisfaction, and then sent the young people out, leaving only Qin Shen and Zhou Ziwu and the two horses: "I will sit here for a while, and with my brother-in-law and brother-in-law with me, you can feel comfortable and take a look around." If Zitong is tired, go and rest for a while? ”
"The concubine is trying to invite her sister (the eldest princess of Linchuan) and her younger sister (the eldest princess of Qinghe) to take a walk in the nearby Xuan Pavilion." Empress Du's pale face was a little bloody, and she said softly, "You can take a rest by the way, the saint can rest assured." The eldest princess of Linchuan and the eldest princess of Qinghe responded with a smile, took her arm and left slowly.
So, Princess Changning finally had the opportunity to entertain her close friends and introduce Li Hui and others to them. At this time, Li Huifang found that Du Niangzi also came. She was dressed in an autumn-colored skirt, and she still looked very inconspicuous among several little ladies who were either primrose-colored or wearing big red dresses. However, when she looked at it faintly, it was just as eye-catching.
Among these few little ladies, what impressed Li Hui quite deeply was the little lady who was covered in red like flames. It's not because of anything else, but her surname is An, and she is the sister of Princess An, the princess of Chu. When he accompanied Li Ju to marry, he was almost beaten by this little lady. At that time he thought that this girl must be different from her sister, and that she was by no means of a refined temperament, and that was indeed the case.
Seeing him look at one of the little ladies with the corners of his lips hooked, the prince raised his eyebrows slightly: "The sister of Princess Chu?" Have you ever met her? For a moment, he thought that Li Hui had discussed marriage with this little lady An. But think about it carefully, the An family has already produced a princess of Chu, how can there be another princess of Xin'an County?
"When Brother Qing got married, there was a one-sided relationship. It's just that I didn't expect Yue Niang to be good friends with her. Li Hui said, "No, the temperament of the two of them is indeed very compatible, and it is not surprising that they can become close friends." It's also very interesting to go around and around, all of them are relatives. ”
"It's really interesting." The prince offered some interest. To be honest, every time he sees Du Niangzi, he inevitably feels a little cloudy in his heart. Of course, this has nothing to do with Du Niangzi, and he has no intention of angering anyone, but it is difficult to make progress in resolving Li Hui's marriage at present.
Li Hui noticed his carelessness, and saw that Princess Changning and the little ladies were talking and laughing, and even Yan Zhan was talking and laughing with Qin Cheng, Zhou Yi, and Yan Balang, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to go to the county king's mansion next door to have a look?" ”
The warm breath hit his ears, which made Wang Zixian's mood suddenly better: "Of course I want to." But how? ”
"I have my own way." Li Hui laughed under his breath, turned around and walked away quickly. The secret passages of the princess's mansion were all quietly built by him, and there was more than one secret passage leading to the prince's mansion next door.
The prince hooked the corners of his mouth, and immediately followed unhurriedly.
Unbeknownst to either of them, Lady Du Garan looked at their departing backs from afar, and then withdrew her gaze without a trace.
